I picked up the carb linkage stud but it doesn't have the nut that secures it to the carb. Any one know where to get one? I think it is a thin nut. I'll probably hit the hardware store, but I'd rather have something a little more accurate.

That one sure looks like it.  :alan2cents:

 While that nut does look  correct,  the factory also has a swedge feature.   (Small square rectangle on hex flat) .Can't believe 8.95 for a part off any 318 2bbl up carb.

FYI, I seem to recall once using a hardware store nut with the same threads.  Use that until you find the correct one.

Thanks. I was actually looking for a different style nut. This one makes sense and I might try that ebay option after checking with the hardware store. I'm not interested in 100% original but it would be nice to be close.

or sell that stud package and buy another that comes with the nut.  that's what I did recently.  i knew i needed the nut, and found a listing on epay that included it.  something like:
